The entertainment world is in mourning following the unexpected departure of Matthew Perry at the end of October. His funeral brought together all of his loved ones, including his former ‘Friends’ co-stars. Perry, known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing, was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, a famous cemetery located in the Hollywood Hills.
The choice of this location has a special meaning, since it is located just a few steps from the Warner Bros. studios, where the iconic comedy series that catapulted both Perry and the rest of the cast to fame was filmed.
According to images released by TMZ, the ceremony looked quite intimate and brought together cast members, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow. Although Matt Le Blanc and David Schwimmer were not captured by the paparazzi, it is presumed that they also attended.

While hugs and expressions of condolence were given, the three actresses could be seen entering the cemetery church that houses celebrities such as Michael Jackson and Liz Taylor. About 20 people in total gathered around Matthew Perry’s grave, all dressed in black.
The news of his unexpected death shocked the world, but the members of ‘Friends’ took a little longer to publicly express their sorrow, which earned them claims on social networks. When they finally did, they issued brief but united statements, describing the loss as “incomprehensible” to their television family.
“We are all absolutely devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just co-stars. We are Family. “There is a lot to say, but now we are going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss,” the Friends actors said in a statement released by People.

Series creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, along with executive producer Kevin Bright, also issued a similar group statement in Perry’s honor. “It still seems impossible. The only thing we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives,” they said.
A week after Matthew’s sudden departure, the exact cause of his death remains a mystery. According to authorities, he was found dead in the jacuzzi of his home in Los Angeles, and the main hypothesis points to a possible drowning. However, it has been confirmed that his body did not spend much time there before being found by his assistant, so the details that led to this tragic outcome have not yet been clarified and remain under investigation.
Matthew Perry’s body was released to his family last Sunday after an autopsy and toxicology tests. In the first results of the analysis, which will take up to six months to complete, no methamphetamines or fentanyl were detected in the body of the famous Golden Globe-nominated actor.
